The Stages
First stage - April 2005: The completion of the UNESCO Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve nomination form.
Second stage - To formalize the present inter-institutional work group as the Reserve's Executive Committee and a Consulting Board. They will also determine the responsibilities of the institutions with regard to the public and private organizations. Their third duty will be to identify and prioritize the work that needs to be done in the different spheres of the future Reserve. This Executive Committee will be made up of representatives of public services, political figures, scientists and members of the local community.
Third stage - The Executive Committee and the Consulting Board prepare for the institution of a legal body coordinating the activities within the Reserve. In the meantime, the Committee will be responsible for the co-ordination of the activities undertaken by all the different groups involved. The Consulting Board will advise on the issues of community interest, in particular the development of tourism, the level of traditional fishing and the use of the reserves natural resources.
Fourth stage - To complete the funding application process, for example to the Global Environment Facility, for projects that develop participation and allow the pursuit of, and the multisectoral support for, the implementation of the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve.
Implementation of plans for development in the various fields of the biosphere reserve of Cape Horn in line with the conclusions reached through the inter-institutional collaboration and from the local Agenda 21. Agenda 21 is an initiative which allows the local community to systematically deliberate any concerns and questions they have associated with the project and to articulate opinions and solutions to these problems.
